rking Assist PARKTRONIC warning display (vehi‐
cles with front and reve rsing camera)
If Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC de tects an obs ta‐
cle in the path of theve hicle, a pop-up window
with the appropriate warning display appears in
th e media display at speeds below appr ox‐
imately 10km/h.
The colou red segments show the dis tance
between the sensors and the obs tacle de tected:
1 Yellow warning displa y:obs tacles at a dis‐
ta nce between appr ox. 0.6 m and 1.0 m 2
Orange warning displa y:obs tacles at a
medium di stance between appr ox. 0.3 m
and 0.6 m
3 Redwa rning displa y:obs tacles at a very
short dis tance of appr ox. 0.3 m or less
When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is operational
and no object is de tected, no segments are
shown in thewa rning displa y.
% Ifth e entire sy stem fails, the internal seg‐
ments of thewa rning display are shown in
re d and theé symbol appears in the mul‐
tifunction display in the instrument clus ter.
If Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC is deacti vated,

In thest andard setting, an intermit tent wa rning
to ne sounds from a di stance of appr oximately
0.3 m toan obs tacle in front and appr oximately
1. 0 m toan obs tacle behind. A continuous warn‐
ing tone sounds from a di stance of appr ox‐
imately 0.2 m. Using theWa rnear lysetting, you
can set thewa rning tone in the multimedia sys‐
te m so that it will sound earlier at a greater dis‐
ta nce of appr oximately 1.0 m (/ page153). %
The Warnear lysetting is alw ays active in
